Eric-Junior Bocat

In the latest scout report on Eric Junior Bocat, Stoke City's left back, his style of play reveals a player who excels in progressing the ball up the pitch through incisive passing. While his ball retention could improve, his ability to recover possession is commendable, showing a knack for reading the game and stepping in at the right moments. Despite being less effective in 1v1 defensive situations, Bocat compensates with his intelligent positioning and awareness in the defensive third. His progressive passing is a standout skill, enabling him to initiate attacks from deep positions, although his threat in the final third remains a work in progress. At 25, Bocat's blend of defensive solidity and passing prowess makes him a reliable asset, though refining his one-on-one defending could elevate his game further.
